Dogs don't understand what kisses from humans actually are.

However when you do kiss the dog often the dog will eventually learn that the kisses are a good thing and then they will likely start understanding that when you kiss the dog you are showing your love for the dog.

Some dogs love kisses while other dogs hate it so just be careful when you're getting that close to your dogs face as they may decide to bite you.

Also if the dog is a stranger and you don't know the dog very good then do not get near it's face to hug or kiss it because it can see you as a threat and possibly bite you as well.

But when you've been around your dog they can usually understand that when you're coming near the dogs face that you are not gonna hurt them.

I give my dogs kisses and they eventually realized that it means a good thing and now they love kisses as well as hugs.
